It's absolutely breathtaking on you Mona. It would be great for a fancy evening out in midwinter as well. Your winter is so long that you need a few coat choices.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-917173 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 02:06:36 +0000 Beth Ann 917173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks fab!&nbsp; Definitely a keeper.&nbsp; It's worth it to keep your spirits up when Spring is delayed!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-917066 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:24:31 +0000 Suz 917066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay!!! I am sure you won't regret it. The only time you won't love it is on the slushy days. Then, you'd better not bring it out. But in early winter (before the snow) and in early spring, it will be a total winner. Also for evenings if you are going out somewhere nice.&nbsp;<br /><br />By the way, those layers sound perfectly reasonable to me. That's what I wear in winter, too. Well, at home I'll wear a sweater instead of the denim jacket, but you get the idea.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-917064 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:22:38 +0000 Jules 917064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what everyone else sees, and I see the attraction of getting out of your winter coat (I never want to see mine again!). I'm concerned the weather will turn hot soon and quickly (I believe you are in Southern Ontario) and you won't get to wear it as much as you hope this season. But it will last for years to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-917059 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:18:32 +0000 Anonymous 917059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful on you! Please keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-917056 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:16:50 +0000 Mona 917056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz and merwoman, you two are too funny!&nbsp;<br />Suz, I have been spending winters with a puffer and a wool coat and always thought that another coat would be a waste but finally this year it dawned on me that I really really need another light coloured coat for early spring. I did the sit down test on it. ( I do the sit down test on every new item now).<br />Angie, if you think the fit is good then the tags are coming off tonight and yes, i am wearing three layers under it. a camisole, shirt and my denim jacket. It may sound crazy but I do wear these many layers all through winter and spring as our office is freezing cold. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-917031 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:49:55 +0000 Angie 917031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER<br /><br />Can you adequately layer underneath it, Mona? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916949 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:36:36 +0000 Sarah S 916949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would've killed for this coat earlier in the week. Wanted to look like 'spring' but needed winter warmth. Lucky you! It's fab all round in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916945 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:32:06 +0000 Deborah 916945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona it's a lovely coat. It's reading a little more cream on my screen than white and projecting a warm tone. Fit looks good and I think it might just need a steam? Very eye catching and a touch dramatic...I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916917 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:00:06 +0000 Suz 916917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh - and this is a by-the-way, I am firmly, <b>very</b> firmly in the camp of "a woman needs more than one wool coat in our climate." I felt a bit guilty when I first bought my wool pea coat in the fall....but <b>WOW</b> did I feel happy about having the two coats when winter dug in.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916913 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:58:58 +0000 Suz 916913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Merwoman. I think this is a superb purchase, assuming you and your family have the insurance to cover the accident costs that will undoubtedly ensue whenever you wear it. It looks amazing on you, Mona! Re the fit - it is looking great, but have you done a sit test (for driving) and tried whatever you might layer under it?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916902 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:51:12 +0000 merwoman 916902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just checked the link - and see the fabric content.<br />Well it is stunning - the problem that I see is that when you are out and about with this coat on, you are going to cause motor vehicle accidents as drivers swivel their heads to get another look at you. To offset that negative - you will get lots of use as this is perfect for wearing&nbsp;in fall and early winter as well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916886 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:36:59 +0000 pil 916886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks great to me, and the color is certainly more spring time optimistic than burgundy : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916882 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:34:21 +0000 Sarah A 916882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the wool is a good choice if you would feel too cold in the trench. Being cold is no fun! :(<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916873 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:30:04 +0000 Mona 916873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for your input, ladies. Here is the link on BR website.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=26500&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=227986003">http://bananarepublic.gapcanad.....=227986003</a><br />merwoman, this is not the trench coat. It is woolen and the fabric is off course heavier and stiffer than the trench coat. I decided to go for it as spring are usually very cold here and being a very cold person, I thought trench would not be warm enough for me. I don't know if that is the right decision.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916862 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:24:15 +0000 catgirl 916862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, you wear this color so well! &nbsp;I'm not sure on the fit but if I found a coat that fit me like this I'd keep it. :)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916843 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:15:49 +0000 merwoman 916843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Exactly what Inge said - no question this is a great colour for you.&nbsp; I'm wondering if the fabric is not draping as well as you would like. This coat is a little different than my BR trench - fabric looks a little heavier? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916806 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:01:41 +0000 Sarah A 916806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks very pretty, is it a wool type blend? Hard to see from the pics...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916789 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:44:55 +0000 Ingunn 916789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it fits really well, and is absolutely beautiful. Please keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916785 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:38:22 +0000 Inge 916785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the colour is fantastic on you, Mona. I'm not the best at judging coat fit, what is making you hesitate? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-white-coat#post-916744 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:04:38 +0000 Mona 916744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I ordered this coat from BR on 40% off. It will fill a big wardrobe hole. Spring is so cold here and I get so tired of wearing my burgundy woolen coat for so long. What do you guys think of the fit? I am not totally sold on the fit and colour.&nbsp;
